The web is stuffed with bizarre issues, and each every now and then we come throughout one thing that appears actually off. That is the case with a set of images displaying a three-door conversion of a five-door Suzuki Swift, when there was a three-door variant out there proper from the manufacturing facility!
For many who aren’t accustomed to this mannequin, the second-generation Suzuki Swift bought between 2010 and 2017 because the final one to be provided in each three-door and five-door variants (the present Swift is completely provided as a five-door mannequin). The performance-oriented Swift Sport (ZC32S) was distinguished by a sporty bodykit and was fitted with a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter four-cylinder producing 130 hp (100 kW / 136 PS) and 160 Nm (120 lb-ft) of torque mated to a six-speed handbook transmission.

The photographs have been taken in 2018, presumably in China. They present an area store performing a rear-door-delete on a yellow five-door Swift Sport. The method consists of welding collectively the rear doorways, eradicating the door handles, and thoroughly including materials with a purpose to make the panel gaps disappear, merging with the remainder of the bodywork. The top outcome appears to be like fairly good, though the additional pillar on the rear window does appear misplaced and the massive hole between the entrance doorways and the rear wheels is sort of bizarre.
The rear door delete is perhaps well-executed, however the finish outcome suffers in practicality. The entrance doorways of the five-door fashions are considerably shorter in size in comparison with the three-door variants, which together with the unfoldable entrance seats makes stepping into the rear seats nearly unattainable. In different phrases, until additionally they fitted reclining entrance seats, the proprietor of this Swift virtually made the rear bench out of date.
Whereas the world is transferring quick in the direction of the demise of the three-door bodystyle in favor of the extra sensible five-door, we will see why some individuals are nonetheless in love with three-door hatchbacks. What we don’t perceive although is why on Earth somebody would do such a conversion on a automotive that was already out there in each variants. The one doable rationalization can be that he couldn’t discover a three-door Swift Sport in his space (perhaps it wasn’t out there on this market?) and wouldn’t settle with the five-door mannequin.
